What to Expect at
Your Auditory Processing Evaluation
When you visit First Coast Audiology for you or your child’s hearing needs, you can expect your appointment to be broken into a few key parts.
We will ask you to complete questionnaires prior to your appointment. At the first appointment you will be scheduled with an audiologist who will administer a hearing test to make sure you or your child’s hearing is normal. Then we will proceed with a series of tests primarily from the Buffalo Model developed by Jack Katz, Ph.D. The testing consists of a combination of words and sentences presented in various ways to provide more than 30 indicators to help identify APD and what types of problems are present.
A report will be sent with the results and recommendations. A follow-up appointment (virtual or in person) is recommended to go over results and talk about the next steps.
You will be scheduled with Angie Pardee, M.S. CCC-SLP, to evaluate written and oral language, speech, and related capabilities. Preliminary results will be provided.
You will receive a report with a treatment plan. Treatment plans generally include 12 sessions. At the end of the 12 sessions we will repeat the auditory processing evaluation to determine if more therapy is needed.
